INDems Slams Todd Rokita for Not “Believing” Latest COVID-19 Surge in Indiana

Everyone deserves a present except for Todd Rokita – who deserves a boulder of coal for saying he doesn’t “believe any numbers anymore” regarding COVID-19 cases, deaths, and the pandemic that has killed more than 18,000 Hoosiers — many of whom were largely unvaccinated. 

After learning about Rokita’s extreme and partisan comments, the Indiana Democratic Party released the following statement: 

“Indiana Republicans like Todd Rokita have worked overtime all year to smear a life-saving vaccine for political gain – and now the unvaccinated who believed them are suffering and dying because of this extreme partisanship. Make no mistake: Todd Rokita’s attempt to discredit COVID-19 cases is dangerous and presents an ignorance that is disqualifying for anyone holding elected office. These partisan comments are a slap in the face to the more than 18,000 Hoosier families who have lost someone during this pandemic, and unfortunately, it appears Rokita would rather gaslight the public than tell Hoosiers the truth — and all just to win elections. It’s simply un-American.” – Lauren Ganapini, executive director for the Indiana Democratic Party
